A critically endangered monkey at Chester Zoo in England has given birth just months after a complex surgery saved her from undergoing an amputation. Fifteen-year-old roloway monkey, Masaya, had a golf-ball-sized mass removed from her foot last summer. "If she’d had an amputation, we’d have been left with real questions about whether she could hold her offspring," said a zookeeper.
